.35 Remington

I recently sold another rifle and I just need the 3 day good faith inspection period to end and I'll have access to those funds.

I changed my mind :oops:

Who knows how long American made Marlins will be produced not that Remington gobbled them up. I thought it might be a good chance to take. I still kick myself for not buying a Winchester 94 before they stopped making them and the prices shot up on those already in circulation.

I don't blame you.

With Cerebus/Remington, Marlin's new owner(s) (Nov 2007), announcing a few days ago that they intend to close the Mass H&R plant by year's end & transfer only "some" employees South, if I was working at Marlin I'd be getting pretty nervous & start looking for a Golden Parachute.

Do people from a company as small as Marlin get golden parachutes?

Copper parachutes?

Great Jason! I ordered a new 336C in 35 Rem back in December and it just came in the other day. I still haven't shot it yet, but can't wait! Will post pics soon...

It'll most likely be a lead parachute, since Dan Quale is the prexy at Cerebus. :shock:

Which model .35, didja git ? Old/new, 336 A/RC/SC/XLR ? I'm not familiar with the "C" model - is that a regular carbine (RC) 20" bbl, pistol grip ?

I picked it up today.

It's NIB, but I think it was manufactured a while ago. It has micro-groove rifling.

Which two digits indicate the year of manufacture?

Jason, that is a sweet rifle, and in 35 Remington too! Congratulations.

Jason,

That's a nice looking Marlin.

Take the first two digits of the serial number and subtract them from 100. The result is the year of manufacture.

Then it was manufactured this year.

I thought they did away with micro-groove on all their guns.

Does anyone know a good source of load data for this round?

I'm curious to try using pistol bullets to make cheaper practice rounds.

There was an article posted on this forum a while back on shooting cast bullets in micro groove bores. I don't remember the details, since I don't have any bores with micro groove rifling, but if I recall the gist of it, you can shoot cast bullets in micro groove rifling and get excellent results, provided you (and this is where I'm a little shaky), you use a bullet that is about .001" over the groove diameter. It may have said something about hardness, but I cannot recall. Hopefully someone here remembers the article .... maybe check into the articles section, it might be there. If not, post the question as a new thread.

Nice rifle Jason_W. :D The stocks look nice with the darker grain.
